Sportsnet West - Why no Flames/Oilers games?

I realize this may more properly be a blackout/broadcaster controlled issue, but my Shaw guide consistently lists Flames or Oilers games on SNWest, but they're never shown. Usually I get some lame old NFL films crap. I'm in Manitoba, so I can't imagine a blackout would stretch this far?

Hey Whiskey, you are blacked out because you are out of the region for Calgary/Edmonton. Being in Manitoba you would have to purchase NHL Centre Ice to see out of Market Games. This is controlled by the NHL, not Shaw or any other provider. I believe the Calgary/Edmonton region only goes to the Alberta borders, but I don't know for certain about what region Saskatchewan is in.
